RE: Making Bobotie - South African Sweet Curry
Reminds me a lot of local institutional cooking, too. A million things to make with mince and all of that. My father went to boarding school and Bobotie was forbidden in our house, I think he'd had enough of it, lol. Normally it's just made with a couple of raisins and a thin layer of egg, that one looks pretty decadent.
First time I tried it and it was delicious! I'm going to make it again and put it in a loaf pan. The ones with dried apricots sound good too. This was the first time I heard of ground beef being called mince. The only mince I knew of was from mincemeat tarts and our version hasn't had meat in it for at least several generations.
Only Americans call mince ground beef, ;)
Canadians too. :-)
